New hidden update surprised me today. The screen can now be zoomed out even further!

...Meanwhile I'm still struggling to target my minions.

I demand update, or is this one of those bugs like Shadow Form that will never be fixed? MMs were already nerfed, and necros in general even further. Revive the Minion Masters.

/signed, with the caveat of being able to turn minion highlighting off in options

Signed for easier Minion targeting.

Btw, You dont need to target minions if you use Jagged Bones. It can not be cast on teammates or foes, so it autotargets the nearest Minion (be it your own or another allied Minion) unless you force target a different allied minion.

This does not however apply to Death Nova as it can target Allies as well. You would just end up Death Novaing yourself if you use it without a target.

Wow.

We ask simply that Alt show minions and we get a whole new minion UI party window.

gg Anet. ggg.

Now the question is, will we see more OoU MM humans and bombers?

I think Hero MM's will continue to do what they're good at.
However, the new panel will spur up new popularity in more intelligent player minion bombers, in particular selected minion bombing with Death Nova + skills like Feast of the Dead. Once enough corpses have built up, you just use Aura of the Lich to get the party started again.

I see an upswing in Rt/N MM's with this update as well, Explosive Growth + Aura of the Lich is better suited on a player than a hero, as you can time it better when to start spamming Death Nova before a battle, and when to explode them all with an AotL to create a massive AoE while creating a new fresh army.

What party UI window are you referring to? The party window now shows non-Ranger pet allies but it still doesn't show minions.

We're talking about the new panel that will most likely go live tonight with today's feature build.

MonsieurChapin · Mar 03, 2011, 10:51 AM // 10:51

Well, I missed all that info somehow.

Awesome!

Id be happy if they remove the minion cap (or at least double it) and bring back the old Veratas tru skill splitting(thus making this changes PVE only). But I dont really believe it will happen.

But yes...a minion target bar (like the pet one) would be awesome.

Sounds like you're happy and you'll be getting what you wanted.

Closed.
